Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

Although built in 1947, this vintage cabin is in move-in ready condition and currently operates as a permitted short-term rental. The kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances, modern cabinetry, and a subway tile backsplash. The interior features well-maintained wood paneling, newer laminate flooring in common areas, and clean carpeting in the bedrooms. The single bathroom is updated and functional. While the property retains its original 1947 footprint and some vintage charm, the recent updates to the kitchen, flooring, and the addition of a newer hot tub indicate it has been well-maintained and renovated within the last 5 to 15 years.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Prime Location & STR Ready

    Situated in the highly sought-after Moonridge area less than five minutes from the resort, this property includes a rare, active short-term rental permit, providing immediate income potential in a high-demand market.

  • Turnkey Vacation Amenities

    The cabin is perfectly outfitted for guests with a dedicated game room, a newer hot tub, a fully fenced backyard, and dual driveways that solve the common mountain issue of limited parking.

  • Authentic Mountain Charm

    This 1947 vintage cabin delivers the quintessential Big Bear experience with a cozy wood-burning stove and a functional multi-level layout that appeals to both personal users and vacation renters.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • MLS Listing Discrepancy

    Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 929, other record living area = 864. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 2.

  • Limited Bathroom Capacity

    With only one bathroom serving a four-bedroom configuration designed for groups, the property may face functional bottlenecks that could impact guest comfort and rental reviews.

  • Compact Square Footage

    At just 929 square feet for a four-bedroom home, the interior living spaces may feel cramped when at full capacity, and the 1947 construction may require more frequent maintenance than newer builds.
